Funny how they have stock photos for everyone except Crean and Beilein.  Also, it was nice of them to use Pitino's yearbook photo.

I see the $2.8 million figure for Buzz all the time, but I don't think that's his annual pay.  I think that's a stale number that takes into account a one-time retention bonus from the last time his contract was re-worked under Cottingham.  Anybody know the real annual figure?

He's still a winner in my book.

Here's the raw data...

It says this:
"Marquette: Williams' compensation includes $1,987,203 as "one-time extraordinary bonus ... given for retention purposes," according to statement from university spokesman Brian Dorrington."

So his base was around $800k-$900k.  If that's still the case, give the man a raise.

Also, it says Pitino made $8,931,378 the previous year.

Love it - that picture's gotta be older than some of the Scoopers on here.  That said... I was hoping they would have used an action shot of him in his white suit.

Would that be to keep the clam stains under wraps?

Hot wife plus $100 million in the bank. Yes, he is a winner.

Bad numbers throughout.

"fuzzy math" aka incorrect data.

Buzz's 2010 base salary, reported in the IRS Form 990 that the university filed last May, was $1,001,125. Listed among "independent contractors" is Team Buzz Williams LP, which was paid $631,250. See the Office of Finance Reports page.
